AI agents finish 80% of shopping tasks on Indian ecommerce sites, yet average readiness is only 43/100: FTA Global
FTA Global's Agent Readiness Study 2026 found AI agents completed 358 of 450 shopping tasks (80%) across 50 Indian ecommerce sites. The average readiness score was 43 out of 100, with boAt at 95, Flipkart, Mamaearth and Moglix at 92.

What it means for online and offline
With average readiness at just 43/100 and scores split between 12 sites at 80+ and 18 below 20, agent-driven shopping could favor the few prepared leaders like boAt, Flipkart, Mamaearth and Moglix, though this is a single study of 50 sites and should be treated as directional.
Signals to track
- A follow-up FTA Global study showing the 43/100 average rising, or the count of sub-20 sites falling from 18
- Delivery-charge success moving above 74% or product-and-price discovery moving above 73% in a re-test
- A top-scoring site announcing agent-specific terms, rate limits or blocks
- Retailers or platform vendors publicly citing agent-readiness scores in launches or earnings commentary
- Any of the sites in the 80+ group slipping, which would suggest the lead is not durable
